For most of the established authorities who now stand at the summit of the industries, staying in their comfort zone was never part of the option. Although it is immensely tempting to be cocooned within the familiar, one must venture into even where there are risks to grow. Jezman Williams, better known as Jae Zealous, has taken several leaps of faith throughout his career, refusing to be boxed in by his circumstances and limitations. Today, he is making his way toward the global stage as a rising hip-hop artist.
Hailing from St. Louis, Missouri, Jae Zealous has had an affinity toward beats and rhythms since he was young. It is not a surprise that he would grow into a power player in the hip-hop scene as he has always been exposed to the genre, with his mother and uncle listening to the American rapper LL Cool J all the time. “The first time my uncle placed a LL Cool J track, I was jumping on the bed to the beat. From then on, I thought every rapper was LL, so everyone started calling me Cool J,” the multi-faceted artist shares.
Since delving into the industry, Jae Zealous has managed to impress both established powerhouses and aspiring musicians because of his passion, grit, and immense talent. His impressive stage presence is one for the books, and the skill with which he wields the power of his voice has caught the interest of countless listeners worldwide.
Demonstrating the potential to become a massive name in the music industry from the get-go, Jae Zealous takes pride in releasing tracks whose quality speaks of his distinctive artistry and a deep-seated love for the art. Additionally, his dedication to bringing back lyricism and sending important messages through well-crafted lines has set him apart from artists who tend to shy away from including poignant lyrics into their tracks and instead only focus on delivering trendy hooks and catchy beats.
Last January 22, 2021, Jae Zealous released his latest single, Bollywood. Like the other songs in his discography, the track produced by the famous record producer K.E. on the Track showcases his range as a musician. Incorporating lyrics that paint a picture of the possibility of rising from poverty and gaining recognition amidst life’s hardships, Bollywood is a combination of the words “block” and “Hollywood.”
The potential chart-topper is on his way to taking center stage, and he does not plan to slow down any time soon. Driven and ambitious, Jae Zealous expects a future rife with accomplishments, and this confidence is the result of his faith in the quality of music he delivers. In the coming years, he is bound to continue going all-out in every music endeavor, hoping to reach even greater heights. With the domination of the global stage as his end goal, he will not stop until he makes an impact.
As Jae Zealous takes the necessary step toward acclaim, he plans, as well, to serve as an inspiration to enthusiasts who are looking into starting a career in music and securing a position in the saturated arena. On top of emphasizing the importance of finding one’s brand of artistry, he wants to highlight the value of dreaming big.
